Escaping for Christmas
Not everyone spends Christmas at home. Increasingly, families and couples are choosing to escape the chaos of the season and enjoy a peaceful break instead. Whether it’s a cosy cottage in the Cotswolds, a cabin in the Lake District, or a seaside lodge in Devon, a festive getaway can be the perfect way to unwind and reconnect.
But as relaxing as the destination might be, the journey there often tells a different story. Cars filled to the brim, gifts stacked under feet, and the dog squeezed between luggage — it’s hardly the calm start you had in mind.
That’s where a Thule roof box from West Midlands Roof Box Hire can transform your Christmas escape from stressful to serene.
Why space matters for your Christmas break
Christmas trips involve packing for every situation — warm clothes for countryside walks, smart outfits for meals, and enough food and gifts to fill a dining table. If you’re staying in a self-catering lodge or cabin, you’re probably taking extras too: bedding, towels, and even decorations.
All that adds up to one thing — not enough space.
Hiring a roof box gives you a whole extra compartment for your belongings. You can move bulky but lightweight items like bedding, coats, and wrapped presents out of the boot and into the roof box, freeing up valuable space inside the car.
The result? A comfortable drive, clear visibility, and a car that feels ready for adventure.
The perfect companion for your winter escape
Thule roof boxes are designed with practicality and comfort in mind — ideal for winter breaks in the UK. Their aerodynamic shape ensures quiet, stable driving, while their weatherproof construction keeps your belongings safe and dry, no matter what the British weather decides to do.
At West Midlands Roof Box Hire, we offer two top-of-the-range models:
- Thule 470L Large — perfect for smaller cars or couples heading away for a few nights.
- Thule 580L XXL — for families or longer holidays, offering maximum storage space.
Each is sleek, secure, and fitted by our professional team at our Tamworth base, so you can drive away with confidence.
Destinations made easier
Our customers head to all kinds of wonderful UK destinations for their Christmas getaways. Some of the most popular include:
1. The Cotswolds – Quaint villages, roaring fires, and rolling hills — perfect for a peaceful family Christmas.
2. Lake District – Snow-dusted mountains and lakeside lodges ideal for long walks and fresh air.
3. Cornwall – Crisp sea air, cosy pubs, and dramatic winter coastlines.
4. Peak District – Log cabins, hiking trails, and stunning views — only a few hours’ drive from the West Midlands.
5. Wales – Rural retreats and seaside cottages ideal for families and dogs alike.
A Thule roof box helps make each of these journeys smoother, keeping your car tidy and your passengers comfortable from start to finish.
Comfort on the road
There’s something special about the drive to your Christmas break — the excitement builds as the miles roll by. But if the car is crammed with luggage, that feeling quickly turns into frustration.
With a roof box, everything changes. The boot closes easily, everyone has space to move, and you can actually relax as you travel. The box is aerodynamic, so you’ll hardly notice it’s there — except for the difference it makes to the atmosphere inside the car.
Many of our customers tell us that hiring a roof box has made their Christmas break feel like a holiday from the very first mile.
Why hiring makes sense
Buying a roof box might sound tempting, but for most people, it’s not worth the investment. A high-quality Thule box can cost hundreds of pounds and takes up valuable space when not in use.
Hiring from West Midlands Roof Box Hire gives you the same premium quality and performance without the cost or storage hassle. You only pay for the time you need it, and our team handles all the fitting and removal for you.
That’s why so many families across the West Midlands, Staffordshire, and Warwickshire choose to hire with us year after year.
Customer experience
One customer, James from Lichfield, booked a Thule 470L box for a family break in the Lake District last Christmas.
“We’d never used a roof box before, but it made such a difference. We took gifts, food, and all our winter gear with room to spare. The car felt light and organised. The drive up was easy, and everything stayed dry despite the snow. We’ll definitely be hiring again this year.”
Stories like James’s show how small changes can completely transform your Christmas plans.
